SMALL GROUPS.- Get closer to real life situations with more personalized interactions , more lectures and interpretation from your naturalist guide, better option for spotting wildlife, monkeys,birds and hundreds of creatures around.

Because of the lack of civilization in this part of the jungle it will make all that much easier for us to take notice of the rich wildlife to be found here.
